Our very own Head of Rail recently passed his first FIR module in the Supply Chain Sustainability School – ‘Achieving business success through fairness, inclusion and respect’. Mark is looking forward to increasing his knowledge on FIR. He is looking forward to working with his colleagues to develop a culture of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect at MANE.
FIR have brought in this project
with support from the CITB
Structured Fund, which aims
to ensure that the construction
industry has the right people,
with the right skills, in the right
place, at the right time and is
equipped to meet the future
skills demands of the industry.
Mark is looking forward to
Developing his learning
with the next FR module,
we will be sure to update you
on his progress.
Back in January, our Head of Built Environment attended his first seminar about mental health. Here is what he had to say “On Thursday 17th of January, I attended the first of a number of training courses I plan on attending focusing on a critical issue in the modern world - Mental Health. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the course if I’m honest, and listening to experiences and stories of how mental health issues can affect even the most basic of daily tasks was a real eye-opener.
I will be changing my approach to how I deal with people who don’t seem themselves. My outlook on people’s well-being has changed and I now believe it will help me continue my personal development into management. How I will handle situations in and out of the workplace will now be treated with extra care, bearing in mind people’s mental health towards different situations.
From just one session, I have found the message behind the overall course to be a revelation. For something I was aware of and had little knowledge of – I now feel deeply invested in championing mental health to all. I plan to attend the “mental health in the workplace” course next working towards becoming a Mental Health Champion for Mane. In the long term, I aim to be in the position to be able to deliver talks on the subject to our site teams and internal staff.”
Paul is looking forward to attending more sessions over the next few months.
